Texas A&M University (probably) describes the football game as "the source and summit of Aggie life."
Here are some things that Catholics and Aggies have in common.
2. An affinity for standing for a long time
Giphy
Commit to it for four quarters or what's the point?
3. A distinct attitude of faith and hope
Giphy
In spite of life's challenges or a losing score, a good Catholic and a good Ag both turn away from despair and seek comfort in loyalty.
5. The crowd doing the same moves together
Giphy
Kneeling is similar to squatting. Hump it, Ags! In the name of the Father...
If you are ever lost, once Mass/the game begins, all you need to do is imitate the those around you. When we stand, you stand. When we sit you sit. When we kneel, you kneel. When we shout about "farmers", well... you know what to do.
8. There is always a willingness to step in for the sake of others
Giphy
The 12th man and the 12 disciples!
10. Moments of personalization
Giphy
You finally get your chance to shine on the Jumbotron or while getting your sacraments at the front of the Church. Either way, #blessed.
11. Uttering prayers/yells in unison
Giphy
"The Lord be with you"
"And with your spirit" (of Aggieland)
12. Reverence for tradition
Giphy
There is truly a core of belief for both entities, and we must continue to hold the bar high like we have done for a long time.
